Dying Art
In this modern age of communication
It would seem the art of conversation
Is fast becoming a dying art
Its deteriorating and falling apart
Shouldn’t technology improve our lot
Comms on the move, Comms in a jot
But DM, IM and SMS
Have turned our comms into a mess
The standard of language is coming down
The i-generation are dumbing down
LOL is no laughing matter
TXT left my head in tatters
I don’t understand maybe I’m thick
Are you talking to me or chewing a brick?
Starting conversation, is just like starting fire
O2, a spark and fuel are all that you require
So strike one up and fan the flames
With proper nouns and proper names
With verbs, adverbs and adjectives
Similes and superlatives,
Metaphors and alliteration
Pro-Creation not abbreviation
And that’s similes not smiley faces ?
Because emoji’s are a load of Faeces ?
Express yourself with a rich tapestry of words
Not Icons and Likons and pictures of turds
Mark my words I’ve said my piece
Don’t let this fine art die or cease
So its bye for now, I got to go
Did my message hit home? I don’t know
I hope so because, what the fook
BFN I GTG
MSG RCVD? IDK
IHS COS WTF
Is this drivelling mindless gobbledygook
